This was a bit of a remark, which drew a smile from King Rui.

But he immediately said sternly: "Don't say such frustrating words. ”

Liu Tong was noncommittal, said hello to King Rui, and left in a hurry.

King Rui watched him leave, and his eyes were stained with a layer of worry.

Chang Muzhi heard that Liu Tong had come to the palace, and he rushed over at this time, and there was still some fine sweat on his forehead.

"What about the Ninth Brother?"

"Gone."

King Rui sat down and took the book "Anecdotes of Yao Zijing", but he didn't bother to read the book anymore.

Chang Muzhi has been married to him for several years, so he can naturally see that he has something in his heart, and he can't help but say: "What's wrong?" The ninth brother came here and said something, look at you with a heavy look. ”

King Rui glanced at Chang Mu and sighed: "I don't know if the appearance of your sister is a good thing or a bad thing for Xiao Jiu." ”

Chang Muzhi suddenly glared at him: "What's wrong with Runzhi?" Xiao Jiu now has a heart for Runzhi, if they can succeed, wouldn't it be a good thing? How can you still get involved in bad things. ”

King Rui sighed again and muttered, "What do women think......"

"In my woman's opinion, don't you still have to rely on me to help you navigate the backyard and provide you with food and clothing?" Chang Muzhi glanced at him, and the husband and wife joked a few words, and Chang Muzhi asked seriously: "What's wrong?" ”

Rui Wang repeated what Liu Tong said before, and said: "Xiao Jiu said that sentence before leaving, I don't really look angry. You said, if the prince over there knows about it and the Mo family stands up, then Xiao Jiu's marriage ......"

Chang Muzhi also frowned.

Over the years since she married into the royal family, she has a basic understanding of these brothers of King Rui. Among them, there is no doubt that the Nine Emperors are the only brothers who are valued by King Rui.

So she cares about the Nine Emperors as much as she cares about her own family.

The marriage of the Nine Emperor Princes before was a gift from the Holy Heavens, and this family affair came very suddenly, she didn't have time to contact the future concubine of the Mo family, and the Mo family passed the door, and then died of illness soon after.

In this regard, both their husbands and wives have some complaints about the saint.

Now that they saw that the ninth brother had walked out of the haze of that marriage, with a heartfelt smile on his face, how could they watch him fall silent again?

What's more, the ninth brother is obviously interested in Run.

As the eldest sister, she naturally hopes that Runzhi can live a satisfactory life - at least, it must be better than before in the Fang family.

Chang Muzhi hurriedly said to King Rui: "Why don't I go to the palace today and find my mother to talk to the concubine?" ”

The concubine is now the highest-ranking palace concubine in Emperor Yuanwu's harem, and she is in charge of all things in the harem. She has no sons, so she treats all princes and princes equally, and she is also respected by the princes.

"The concubine may not be willing to be a guarantee." King Rui muttered: "She has no son, no matter who gains power in the future, it will be the same for her." Xiao Jiu's marriage, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is controlled by the prince, and the concubine Niangniang has always been wise to protect herself, so she should not be willing to wade into this troubled water. ”

Chang Muzhi sighed.

"I don't really understand that the prince must pull the ninth brother to his side, what is the purpose?" Chang Muzhi said dejectedly: "The ninth brother has been working by his side for a few years, and I don't see him reuse the ninth brother. At the beginning of the marriage, the Mo family concealed the truth that the Mo family was already terminally ill, I don't believe the prince didn't know. He teamed up with the Mo family to pit the ninth brother, and he wanted to pit it a second time? What is the ninth brother holding him back? ”

King Rui closed his eyes and sighed lightly: "He pulled Xiao Jiu to his side, why didn't he test me." ”

"Lord Wang?"

Chang Muzhi suddenly looked at King Rui.

King Rui laughed at himself: "My father has sealed five princes, Brother Qi, Brother Li, Brother Zhu and Brother Cen, and the four of them are already obvious to stand up against the prince." I'm the only one, and I haven't made my attitude clear yet. ”

King Rui gently stroked the spine of the book: "The prince is naturally willing to have one more assistant than one more obscure enemy." ”

"The crown prince set up a bureau to let the saint go before and took your position in the military department," Princess Rui hesitated: "This is also a warning and temptation?" ”

"Perhaps." King Rui looked at Chang Muzhi, and his tone was full of helplessness: "You know, I really don't like this kind of open and secret fight between brothers. ”

King Rui sighed: "They are all flesh and blood brothers, even if they don't come out of the belly of a mother, they are also relatives who are connected by blood." The royal battle was bloodless, but it was no less tragic than the battlefield. I didn't want to get involved, and it was clear that no one else would allow me to stay out of it...... If I really don't help each other, I'm afraid they will think that I am watching from the wall, so that they can fight with each other and I will benefit from the fisherman. ”

Chang Muzhi sat down slowly, his eyes a little straight: "So...... The battle between the prince and several princes, you can't avoid it? ”

"The prince has been trying his best to win over Xiao Jiu, so isn't he also forcing me to make a choice." King Rui shook his head helplessly: "It is impossible for him to let me be at ease." ”

"You don't have real power in your hands, even if he woos you, what can you do?"

"It's just because I don't have real power in my hands now, so he has to work harder to win me over."

Rui Wang carefully analyzed with Chang Muzhi: "Now I am better controlled. What's more, I still have the title of a prince, and I really want to do things for the prince, and I will get twice the result with half the effort. The power in his hands only needs to be revealed to me, and the real power in his hands also shows that I am from his side. ”

"Didn't Xiao Jiu come yesterday and see the Chinese lord in charge of the household department, the son of the left servant Lang of the military department, and the nephew of the general of Huaixi went to Yihong Pavilion together? There are many people in Beijing who speculate about the owner behind Yi Hongge.

It is rumored that the owner of Yi Hongge is a woman. But in my opinion, the master behind him is the crown prince. ”

Chang Muzhi was suddenly surprised: "Prince? Impossible! How could the prince's estate include a brothel? He doesn't want a reputation! ”

"Considering the reputation, this is probably the reason why no one has exposed it." King Rui said: "It is rumored that the owner behind Yi Hongge is a woman...... Do you still remember that the prince was the first to accept the Chen family? ”

Chang Muzhi nodded.

The prince's widow Chen was born in the teaching department, and when the prince welcomed her into the prince's mansion, it also caused a controversy, and several imperial history books reprimanded the prince for his virtue. Later, Chen became pregnant soon after entering the prince's mansion, and after giving birth to a son, the prince gave her the position of a widow.

"Those women in the prince's backyard, you should know a thing or two. That Chen Ruren's appearance is not top-notch among them, but she has a bit of face in the prince's place, and she always has her superiority. King Rui said softly: "Perhaps, this Yi Hong Pavilion is the property of that Chen Ruren." ”

Chang Muzhi thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but feel that King Rui's speculation was very reasonable.
